Alright, picture this: The FIA is out here asking, “Hey, who wants to throw their hat in the ring for the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship?” Yep, you heard that right—2026 is the year they’re aiming for. And let me tell you, this isn’t your everyday race.
Apparently, around 250,000 folks can’t get enough of these events throughout the season. It’s like a festival of roaring engines and exhaust fumes that also happens to reach millions on social media. Kinda wild, honestly. There’s something oddly charming about these behemoth trucks—it’s like watching your fridge outrun a cheetah. Craziest thing.
The FIA is hunting for some organization to come in and either pump up the crowd—or just operate behind the curtain. You just gotta shoot them an email with your name, some contact details, and why you’re even interested. But don’t procrastinate—17:00 CET, June 16, 2025, is the cut-off. Mark it, or risk being that person at the party who shows up when everyone’s leaving. Awkward.
Marek Nawarecki, who’s one of the big cheeses over there, sums it up with serious gusto. He goes on about truck racing’s ties to logistics and the unforgettable scene it creates. Imagine concert-like events with these juggernaut trucks—all while mingling at trade fairs. Honestly, even if you went just for the snacks and left a fan, it’d make sense.
And, oh, the history! Right from the 1980s. Trucks that weigh in at a cool 5,300 kg but still zip around with 1,200 bhp? I wouldn’t believe it either, but here we are. And, sustainability is a big deal for them. High-fives all around for embracing 100% sustainable fuel ages ago—before it was cool.
This whole thing kicks through tracks from Misano to Circuito del Jarama. Don’t you just love those names? Exotic and exhilarating all at once. And the season’s not a sprint, it’s a dance across eight rounds. If that doesn’t sound like a new Netflix series waiting to happen, I don’t know what does.
So, yeah—truck racing. Weirdly fascinating, unexpectedly gripping. Any promoters out there feeling adventurous? This might just be the playground you’re looking for.
